Intel discontinues older Spartan and XC9500XL families; final orders closed June 29, 2024

A Microchip USA summary reports that AMD has discontinued older FPGA and CPLD families, including Spartan II/3, XC9500XL and CoolRunner/II. Final orders closed June 29, 2024. A separate AMD notice, XCN20001, covers the Virtex-II Pro FPGA family.

Devices in the 7-Series are cited as supported through 2040, which makes them the named migration path. Sustainment programs still built around legacy Xilinx parts now depend on remaining inventory, where grey-market stock and counterfeit exposure are the main risks.

Buyers should confirm the lifecycle status of each legacy part on the bill of materials and require authenticated sourcing for any remaining inventory.
